Conformity with the majority does not equate to making a correct or sensible choice
Overview
This meme uses the popular Morpheus 'What if I told you' reaction template taken from the 1999 sci-fi film The Matrix. The character Morpheus, portrayed by Laurence Fishburne, looks directly at the viewer with a serious expression wearing his iconic dark round sunglasses. The overlaid text reads 'WHAT IF I TOLD YOU' at the top and 'THE MAJORITY ISN'T ALWAYS CORRECT' at the bottom. It is a direct response to the common rhetorical question 'Would you jump off a bridge if everyone jumped off a bridge?', which is often used to criticize blind following of peer pressure and majority action, making the point that just because most people do or believe something does not make it inherently correct or wise.
Origin notes
The meme uses the widely circulated Morpheus 'What if I told you' reaction image template originating from a scene in The Matrix. It was shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, sourced via RSS feed. The imgflip.com watermark at the bottom left confirms it was created using the Imgflip online meme generator platform, which is a common tool for making edits to popular existing meme templates.
